This match against Mathilde Johansson was pretty much up and down for Elena. When it looked like Elena is cruising, Johansson would fight back and scare us all. And that 2nd set was really scary for a while. Good thing that Elena Dementieva had the experience and closed the match in straight sets 7-5 7-5.

This was not an easy match so it's good that she has a day off tomorrow to prepare for her next match. She will face either Marion Bartoli of France or another German by the name of Andrea Petkovic.

I was looking at the rankings a while ago and I realized that she has a good shot of returning to the Top 10 if she makes a good run here at the French Open. Let's hope for the best!
